So i start up my pc everything is normal, go to play some League of legends with freinds and the screen filckers, In the corner is says my gfx card driver recovered from a error, a couple of seconds later it happens again. eventually blue screen and dies... it did this 3 times. i try to system restore to before a windows update. Now my PC boots but from the very first image there are horizontal red lines over every thing. safe mode wont boot screen just stays black with the red lines, normal startup results in blue screen of death which i need to turn off the computer from the power button to get rid of. i cant get onto my pc for anything as i have no on-board gfx... just my card. (or at least no VGA/HDMI/DVI port thats not on my gfx card slot). So i cant try any different drivers.
Is my GPU broken?

It could be power related if it only happens under load but it think its video ram causing the issue or a driver bug

Sounds like a GPU to me. Try to borrow one form a friend to see if the rest of the system works fine.
